FIX WINDOWS BOOT PROBLEMS

Lazesoft Recovery Suite offers a number of handy tools for fixing problems with Windows, plus it can help you recover data, too. Once created, reboot your PC from the Lazesoft rescue media. You’ll eventually find yourself at the main Lazesoft Recovery Suite, with four recovery-based options: “Windows Recovery,” “Data Recovery,” “Disk Image & Clone,” and “Password Recovery.”

All four options are largely self-explanatory. Before running any recovery tools, we recommend taking a drive image of your current setup, which ensures you can always roll things back should the cure prove worse than the malady. Select “Disk Image & Clone,” and choose “Drive to Image” to back up to a suitable external drive. Second, “Data Recovery” contains the full range of data recovery options, including simply pulling off regular files, as well as searching for lost and deleted files and partitions.

“Windows Recovery” attempts to fix your boot problems, offering a wide range of options across a series of tabs. There’s also a one-click solution if you’d prefer the software to try to diagnose and repair on its own, with an “Undo” button that promises to reverse any changes made if the problem isn’t fixed or gets worse.

If this fails, try the other options: “BootCrash,” “LoadingCrash,” and “RandomCrash.” Each one steps you through a series of potential fixes to try, from repairing the MBR and restoring missing or corrupted files, such as Ntosknl.exe (“BootCrash”), to running memory diagnostics, and recovering the Registry (“RandomCrash”).

The final tool— ”Password Recovery”— promises to reset your Windows password if you’ve forgotten it, plus can reveal your Windows and Office product keys, should you need them. The former option only works with local passwords—in other words, if you sign in to Windows using your Microsoft Account, you need to visit https:// account.live.com/ password/reset to try to
